Everyone is busy with the hustle and bustle of the season but, in your downtime, you may be considering the resolution that is right for you in the New Year. Your Red Bank dentist suggests ringing in 2023 with a determination to take care of your teeth.
Get a Smile Makeover
Parties, get-togethers with family and friends, any gathering that has you face-to-face with other people is the fastest way to take inventory of your own smile. You’ll talk to people who have straight teeth, crooked teeth, unsightly teeth, and super-white perfect teeth. Being faced with these differences can have you feeling self-conscious about your own teeth, or jealous of someone else’s.
A customized smile makeover can wipe away the envy, especially if you choose an option like:
- Teeth whitening: Feeling self-conscious of your dingy teeth? It might not be any fault of your own. Even if you take great care of your teeth, age and use can simply discolor the enamel. You can make a major dent in stains with in-office whitening or deep bleaching. These procedures can transform enamel to bright white.
- Porcelain veneers: Some people have multiple aesthetic complaints about their smile and wish for one procedure that could fix everything – enter porcelain veneers. These carefully customized porcelain shields are fitted over several front teeth to create a smile that is white, straight, and flawless.
- Invisalign: Start Invisalign as the New Year begins and by the same time the following year, you’ll have a straight, beautiful smile and may even be completely done with your treatment. The best part – it is all done discreetly thanks to thin, clear aligners that fit snugly against your teeth.
Improve Your Oral Health
If you’re not in the market for a major overhaul of your teeth using cosmetic dentistry, that’s okay. There are other ways to spruce up your smile – namely, by taking care of your oral health.
When is the last time you saw your dentist? Regular teeth cleanings and dental exams are critical to the health of your teeth and gums and overall well-being. They are recommended every six months, not just to get rid of built-up plaque and bacteria on teeth but to check for signs of tooth decay, infection, and other hard-to-notice problems.
At each cleaning, your hygienist will polish your smile which creates gleaming tooth enamel and makes stains and discoloration more difficult to reappear. Your Red Bank dentist will also perform a dental exam which includes an oral cancer screening and gum disease screening. Going to the dentist is one of the best ways to find out early if something is wrong with your teeth and gums.
Boost Your Confidence
No matter what kind of dental work you have done at your Red Bank dentist’s office in the New Year, the results will be healthier, more beautiful teeth. You can discuss options for the future, ways to improve your smile and your oral health, and the way your smile impacts your confidence no matter its condition. Your belief in yourself and your own good looks rests heavily on your teeth. Get them where you want them so your confidence never wavers.
